If only more DJ's were this creative & entertaining... Beardyman - Live in the Underbelly
Clicked on this to decompress the other night... Just brilliantly entertaining and funny. Even if you don't get the all the musical references, you can't help grin when he gets people up and movin'. Jaime Lidell would be proud! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qciVXUHTN10&feature=youtube_gdata Sent from my iPad

Tripping Out Over Wayne Coyne’s Bathroom...
From Flavorwire: "Flaming Lips lead singer Wayne Coyne is no shrinking violet: he’s donned fake blood and a furry suit onstage, gone full-frontal in a music video, and slammed the Arcade Fire in Rolling Stone. Now images of Coyne’s self-described “drug damaged, artist[ic]” home — a veritable compound in Oklahoma City designed byFitzsimmons Architects — are making the internet rounds."

There is some really interesting design going on here but I don't know if I'd call it home.

Viva Voce - The Slow Fade
A few months ago I lost both the main and backup hard drives containing my iTunes Library. Roughly 1TB worth of data... gone. As you can imagine I was super excited... of course not, I was uber pissed, so angry I couldn't believe it, a hugh moment of "Are You Fuckin' Kidding Me?!?!? The main and the backup!!!" It was the best Ad for a Drobo ever and helped re-ignite a strong desire for Spotify, because, well, this has happened before over the years, and even though I had older versions of my library on other drives, I'm getting tired of managing hard drives, I just want access to a shit ton of music.
Now having those older drives with part of my music library is great, except for when you want to hear something that you purchased recently. Fortunately E-Music has very liberal Re-download Policy which came in very handy yesterday when I had Viva Voce's "The Slow Fade" in my head. The haunting chorus of "Gone Gone Gone" kept playing over and over in my ears as I tapped out the lulling rhythms on my steering wheel while driving to work, on my customers desk that afternoon and at the dinner table last night. Stuck on repeat was this simple lullaby of a break up and goodbye song. This morning I re-downloaded Vive Voce's Rose City and couldn't be happier to hear the this song in full and release my self of only remembering the one phrase of the chorus.
The march of the piano and the slide guitar set the mood of a county dirge while a wobbly distorted square wave from a keyboard fades in and out to accent the vocal melody. It's a simple and beautiful song, fitting for the end of a record, a relationship or mourning the loss of your music collection... "Gone, Gone, Gone."

New challenging and ambitious work from The Knife In Collaboration with Mt. Sims and Planningtorock, written specifically for the opera Tomorrow In A Year which is based off of Darwin's Origin of Species and other Darwin related materials such as Richard Dawkins' The Selfish Gene. It's as if they crept into my library and wrote an album about it. I couldn't be more excited.

Justice - Beginning of the end

Beginning of the end.mp3 (7445 KB) Download now or listen on posterous
Well it's not much, but it's something new, New Justice that is, fresh from the Ed Banger outbox and to be taken from an album do out later this year also to be titled ✞ (at least according to the ID3 tag). It's a very simple track, perhaps something that will serve as an intro (Hopefully!) Just as it begins to get interesting it cuts short, probably intended. Fingers are "crossed" that our other favorite Persian dance duo will pull out another winner and not a sophomore dud.

Scratch Input - Using Audio to control your computer.
via youtube.com
For the nerds... yes, but pretty cool. It's a short but dense clip, hang in there, somewhere around the 3:00 minute mark the potential use of the technology will start to sink in.

Wild Beasts - The Fun Powder Plot
The Fun Powder Plot by Wild Beasts
Download now or listen on posterous
01 The Fun Powder Plot.mp3 (9612 KB) Download now or listen on posterous
Wild Beasts remind of the 80's in the best way possible. Eccentric English guys who can play their instruments extremely well and clean. They use words not commonly found in modern pop music, such as "bereft", "bovver" and "donkey-jaw diction". Their songs are full of drama made of glassy guitars and syncopated rhythms and have a feel that is both "modern and of the renaissance" to quote their myspace page. Boasting Falsetto, Tenor and Baritone vocalists, I had to ask myself, "Is that Antony of Antony and the Johnsons sining with a more restrained Mew..." No it isn't but it sure sounds like it.
From all of the songs on the 2nd record, Two Dancers, I choose "The Fun Powder Plot" simply because it's the 1st song on the album and it gently lulls you into their overall dramatic and dynamic sound. Plus it has may favorite lyric of the whole record "This is a booty call; my boot, my boot, my boot, my boot up your arse hole."
Love it.
Enjoy!
